The long delicately chalky finish is precisely underlined by fine tannins. Already delicious! Sustainable.

It is a blend of several Beaune Premier Cru vineyards, with each parcel vinified separately before blending. The wine is sourced from four Premier Cru climats: Aigrots, Tuvilains, Sizies, and Sur les Grèves, selected for their complementary qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards are east to south-east facing, with soils composed of limestone, clay, and marls in varying proportions depending on the parcel.
